Rock Werchter 2014

[thetime]

No Neil Young though, he's doing a different Belgian fest.

[foolee]

Right then, Pearl Jam was the one band I wanted to see next Summer. Glad theybe finally been announced, it's seemed inevitable for a while.

With Neil Young out, I'm expecting two of Linkin Park/Kings of Leon/The Prodigy/QOTSA to make up the top two on Sunday.

[Dietediet]

Which one dour? Ardentes?

[foolee]

QOTSA sells out arenas fairly easily in Belgium, so to Belgian standards that's actually not so weak.

[thetime]

Just been looking on the Graz forums, which is basically a European version of Efests and they don't seem so pleased about Pearl Jam, they think the lineup is too repetitive and seem to think Muse with QOTSA will be the sunday of RW.

Do people think it would be okay to book tickets in Jan? like they won't be sold out by then will they?

I agree Pear Jam are a huge booking but very repetitive and predictable. That's the way werchter dies it though, they don't care about repeats just getting the best lineup available at the time.

Been pretty disappointed in Pearl Jam the 2 times I've seen them at werchter, although I'm willing to give them another go if pixies don't headline the barn.

I can't see it selling out by then to be honest, maybe March. Although you never know so best to get them as early as you can, they will give you a warning when tickets are low aswel.

No talk about blink 182 please we have taste here.

Hi, tickets on pocket now. This will be the 3º Rock Werchter for me and my friends, after a break this year in Sziget.

Very happy with the line up right now and expecting who the 4º headliner will be. My guesses are one of: Linkin Park or Foo Fighters (doing gigs in Mexico right now, why not...). I'm not reaIly sure about this Muse thing going around. Althought I read somewhere that they're trying to get David Bowie for the 40 aniversary, that will be awesom as the sunday close. I bit dissapointed of not hearing a thing about a Daft Punk tour (what happen to this guys, come on!).

Hoping to see in there too things like Queens of the stone age, The Prodigy (closing a night), Mäximo Park, White Lies, MGMT, We are Scientist, Mogwai, Foals, Beady Eye...

They are all touring with new albums so I can really see them all at Werchter this summer...

See you all there mates!

[Daniel Comino Royuela]

... am crazy about seeing live The Bloody Beetroots, and Bastille... but they were there last year so I don't really know what to thing...

I know that Major Lazer was there last year too but don't really thing Werchter like to repeat a lot of acts from year to year...

(and of course Biffy Clyro deserves a higher spot repeating this year too)

(and Kings of Leon... ok, sorry, I'll stop, jejejejeje)

[Gossard]

Please, not Kings of Leon once more, I've had enough of them ....but I'd love to see Biffy Clyro get a decent spot on the main stage.

[Gossard]

But what about Deftones? They havent played in a while and their new album is getting a great review...

[Last Nights Hero]

Are The Eagles a possibility at all for Sunday headliner? Would at least be a little more inspired than Linkin Park or KOL

[the wonderwhy]

Does the Barn headliner usually clash with the main headliner then? I thought those stages were staggered?

Pearl Jam Vs Pixies sounds like one they'd want to avoid really

[ParanoidTourist]

David Bowie would be pretty exceptional=) Any chances of Black Sabbath?

[Kuki]

Not at all, since they are headlining Graspop

[guitarbhoy1888]

got a message from rock werchter

asked if there would be anymore soon

said "Many more are to come, but not very soon anymore."

i then asked if there would be anything before christmas

they said "Probably not."

aw well

hoping that this means theres a big band still to be locked down for the sunday headliner

[karelaanzee]

Pretty sure PJ is the last name before the holidays. We'll have to wait till mid/end january for more names...

[Last Nights Hero]

I'm very happy with the line up so far. I'm hoping that Pixies/Pearl Jam don't clash (it would be foolish on the organizers part). Are Placebo a sub?

[Last Nights Hero]

Looking at the Clashfinder for last year, there was no clash or just a few minutes of a clash between the Barn headliners and the last act on main on 3 of the 4 nights, so hopefully it works out that Pixies end before Pearl Jam begins.

Yeah I saw Frank Ocean and got to the main stage in plenty of time for Rammstein. Ended up an absolute mile back as a result, however.

[Gucci Piggy]

The crowds a bitch at that time, walking between the trees to the main stage is pretty crowded..

[thetime]

First time I've ever been stuck so far back in a festival crowd. The only other headliner I've seen without watching the sub was The Cure at Leeds, which was empty anyway. Was a bit of a shock when I arrived and it was absolutely packed.
